Bodegas Peñalba López - Blanco Finca Torremilanos 2022

Since 1903, Finca Torremilanos has been representing the essence of our region by working in harmony with our natural and social environment. We have sought out to understand our land and its dynamics, as a way to take care of our vineyards. We have nursed our soil with love and dedication to support the natural equilibrium and growth of our grapes. Our wines are our legacy, expressing the natural characteristics and high quality of our grapes and cultivating traditions. We value the land as source of life.

Finca Torremilanos owns 195 hectares (ha) of vineyards with a diversity of soils, orientation, altitude and climate. Our vineyards are heterogeneous and are composed of different terrains surrounding the estate of Torremilanos. These are located in the southern edge of the Duero River, in the town of Aranda de Duero, in an altitude of 800 – 900 meters (m). We practice agriculture without irrigation, herbicides or pesticides. We consider ourselves “Artisans of the land” by practicing an agriculture that is 100% ecologic and biodynamic.

47% Chardonnay, 35% Albillo and 18% Viura. Estate-owned, biodynamically-farmed vineyards. Aged with the lees for 11 months in new and used French barriques.

"I love the austerity and seriousness of the white 2022 Peñalba López Vino Blanco that goes beyond the unusual varietal mix of 40% Chardonnay and 20% each Albillo Mayor, Albillo Real and Viura, coming through as stony and mineral, very apt for the table. It has moderate ripeness and 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.15, which denotes freshness, finishing with a subtle bitter twist. It matured in barrel for 13 months, but the wood is not an important element in the aromatics or flavors. 9,533 bottles produced." - 92 Points, Wine Advocate
